    I just tried it. Doesnt look great but does what it should I guess.

    But what is up with the CPU use? Just sitting idle in the background it uses up 70% of one CPU (I am on a 2.2Ghz C2D). When I switch to the window it goes up to 140% for about 30 seconds and then settles at about 120%. So just having the window open uses more then 1 whole CPU core. I restarted and let it run a bit thinking it might be doing something like indexing the pictures. But its still like that now after a few hours and restarts.
